fruit infused water

I have a new favorite beverage:  lemon blackberry infused water.

Oh, it is so YUM!

I remembered my daughter got me a six-pack of Perrier (“Momma’s treat water’) for Christmas the other day.  It wasn’t cold and I don’t really like it over ice (not sure what that’s about).  I spied some frozen blackberries in the freezer so I threw those in my cup and filled it up with Perrier.

Then I added some fresh lemon, since I happened to have some available.

Fancy schmancy, right?

I thought so.

But before I could take a sip, my sweet daughter walked through the kitchen and stole it.

Yup, she likes Perrier, too.

I let her get away with it and made myself another glass.

It was delicious – even taking away some of the pain sitting with my husband and daughter while they watched “Space Balls”…again.

When I was finished sipping it, I ate the blackberries and then made another!

But this time I used flat water, straight from the tap.

The frozen blackberries cooled it down quickly.

And I found I actually preferred it with the flat water instead of the bubbly.

We all know water is really important for our bodies. The Mayo Clinic recommends at least eight glasses a day for proper hydration.

This is easy for me to do because I am a water drinker.  In fact, it’s rare I drink anything else, even at restaurants.

But that wasn’t always the case.  I had to get myself into the habit of reaching for water instead of soda, tea, juice, lemonade, etc.

Now I prefer water.

But, for a change of pace,  I prefer fruit infused water even more!

If you aren’t a water love, try adding some fresh fruit to a pitcher of it and keeping it in the fridge.

Here are some ideas:

  • Lemon
  • Orange
  • Lime
  • Cucumber
  • Fresh mint
  • Strawberry 
  • Blueberry
  • Watermelon
  • And any other fruit you like!

Try a combination of a couple fruits.  A hotel I was at a few months ago had watermelon mint infused water in the lobby.  It was delicious!

The lemon blackberry infused water is also especially good.  I’ve been making fresh batches all week.

    My husband would inform me that blackberries are meant only for cobblers if I tried that. I don’t like blackberries so I’d be going with something else anyway.

    I love lime or lemon slices in water. Unfortunately here in the frozen north it is hard to get them this time of year. Even frozen strawberries are “iffy” at times here. I can’t wait to get my happy self back home where you can at least buy a decent lime or lemon in the middle of winter.
